Abstract

Provided is a control device for controlling vibration generated by a vibration device mounted on a driving operator of a vehicle, the control device including a control unit that lowers a vibration effect of a vibration having a low priority among a plurality of types of vibration on the basis of priorities defined for the plurality of types of vibration.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A control device for controlling vibration generated by a vibration device mounted on a driving operator of a vehicle, the control device comprising:
 a control unit that lowers a vibration effect of a vibration having a low priority among a plurality of types of vibration on the basis of priorities defined for the plurality of types of vibration.   
     
     
         2 . The control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the control unit lowers the vibration effect of the vibration having a low priority by applying a frequency filter that cancels some or all of frequencies of the vibration for a predetermined period of time to the vibration. 
     
     
         3 . The control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the control unit lowers the vibration effect of the vibration having a low priority by lowering a vibration intensity of the vibration for a predetermined period of time. 
     
     
         4 . The control device according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of types of vibration include at least one of vibration for driving assistance of the vehicle, vibration for providing information to the vehicle, and vibration for providing entertainment to the vehicle. 
     
     
         5 . A control method for controlling vibration generated by a vibration device mounted on a driving operator of a vehicle, the method comprising causing a computer to:
 lower a vibration effect of a vibration having a low priority among a plurality of types of vibration on the basis of priorities defined for the plurality of types of vibration.   
     
     
         6 . A computer readable non-transitory storage medium having a program stored therein, the program controlling vibration generated by a vibration device mounted on a driving operator of a vehicle, and causing a computer to:
 lower a vibration effect of a vibration having a low priority among a plurality of types of vibration on the basis of priorities defined for the plurality of types of vibration.
